The feature can be computationally intensive, so this icon allows a user to be in full control of enabling or disabling the feature. Video super resolution is automatically enabled by Edge and indicated by an HD icon on the address. Meanwhile, you can try VSR by changing Windows settings to force Edge to run on your discrete GPU. Note: We are working on automatic Hybrid GPU support for laptops with multiple GPUs.

Frames from these protected videos are not accessible to the browser for processing. The video is not protected with Digital Rights Management technologies like PlayReady or Widevine.

Both the height and width of the video are greater than 192 pixels.The video is played at less than 720p resolution.

The device has one of the following graphics cards (GPUs): Nvidia RTX 20/30/40 series OR AMD RX5700-RX7800 series GPUs.

Original video credits: © 2008, Blender Foundation / Video super resolution uses machine learning to enhance the quality of video viewed in Microsoft Edge by using graphics card agnostic algorithms to remove blocky compression artifacts and upscale the video resolution, so you can enjoy crisp and clear videos on YouTube and other video streaming platforms without sacrificing bandwidth.ĭue to the computing power required to upscale videos, video super resolution (VSR) is currently offered when the following conditions are met: Frame at 0:30 from “ Big Buck Bunny.” Left half VSR OFF, right half VSR ON. Have you ever wished you could watch your favorite videos in high definition, even if they were originally recorded in lower quality? Well, now you can, thanks to a new feature we are experimenting with in Edge Canary: video super resolution (VSR).
